Finally done with my new build...

2008 Giant Anthem 2 XL frame. Deore drivetrain with Race Face crankset. Reba fork and Fox RP2 shock. Hayes Stroker hydro brakes. Easton Haven front wheel, WTB rear with Conti X-Kings all around. Azonic 420 platforms. This bike is super light compared to my old hardtail, although I haven't weighed it yet. Only other things I want to do is replace the rear wheel with a lighter UST wheel and MAYBE do a 2x10 drivetrain at some point.
